WOOLRICH

Branded as “America’s oldest outdoor clothing brand,” Woolrich was established in Pennsylvania in 1830 when founder John Rich built the first woolen mill in Plum Run, Pennsylvania. The company was originally founded to manufacture fabric for the wives of hunters, loggers, and trappers. Woolrich has introduced products that have become staples in many outdoor enthusiasts’ wardrobes, such as the Buffalo Check and the Arctic parka. Introduced in 1850, the Buffalo Check name was inspired by the herd of buffalo owned by the Woolrich designer that developed the iconic red and black pattern. The garment has become a symbol for Americana and workwear, and it remains one of Woolrich’s “most powerful and visual codes from season to season.” The Arctic Parka was designed in the 1970s for workers who were constructing the Alaskan Pipeline, who needed strong and resilient outerwear in a region where the average temperature was -40 degrees Fahrenheit. “The unmistakable silhouette, pockets, and compartments remain relevant today. Woolrich has pioneered the Parka’s evolution in the last forty-plus years, including variations on the fur-lined hood, incorporation of technological fabrics and new eco and sustainable materials.”
